Chapter Sixty-Nine: Congratulations On Your New Founded Pumpkin

   Warning: Mention Of Abuse
                              -

After two hours Piper was eventually dropped off at the house.

"Gerard!" Piper screamed walking through the door.

"Hi princess!" Gerard exclaimed as Piper hugged him.

"Wow you say hi to Gerard but not me?" I asked and pouted playfully.

"I'm sorry Violet." She apologized and turned her 'r's into 'w's.

"That was adorable." Jacob said while watching Ray played Call of Duty...still.

Piper crawled between me and Gerard and leaned her head on Gerard's side.

"I'm hungry." She complained while poking her button lip out.

"Didn't mommy feed you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"No she hasn't fed in weeks, I have to eat whatever I can find."

"What!?" Gerard and I exclaimed.

"Why isn't mommy feeding you?" Jacob asked averting his attention is Piper.

"She says mistakes shouldn't eat." Piper replied quietly.

"What has Sebastian said about that?" I asked very worried to know the answer.

"He just says mommy is right."

"Gerard can you please make Piper something to eat while I talk to her in the other room?"

"Yeah I will." Gerard replied with a sad smile.

"C'mon Piper we need to talk." I said and got up walking to my bedroom but noticed she wasn't following me.

"Uppie." She smiled and did grabbing hands to me.

I playfully rolled my eyes and picked her up, putting her on my hip.

"Okay baby I know you may not understand what I'm going to ask but please tell me everything." I sighed and closed the door, putting Piper on the bed.

"Okay."

"Does mommy or Sebastian hurt you in anyway?"

"Well mommy screams at me a lot, she also says I'm a mistake. She sometimes tries to slap me but I avoid it. And Sebastian slaps me a lot."

"Oh my god," I breathed "does Sebastian touch you besides the slapping?"

"No."

"Good...I'm going to need to talk with your mommy when she picks you up later."

"Okay." She sqeauked and hung her legs off the bed.

"Lunch is ready for the princess!" Gerard exclaimed from the kitchen.

"Yay!" Piper shouted, rushed out the room and sat at the breakfast bar.

I walked out and saw Gerard laid out a plate with a sandwich and some grapes. Piper had a huge smile and started eating.

"Thank you!" She grinned and ate a grape.

"No problem princess." Gerard replied with a toothy grin.

I sat at the bar next Piper thinking about everything that has happened this morning. Then I started thinking, can I have custody of Piper?

I mean Maria and Sebastian obviously can't have custody of her once I address it with the law enforcement, and trust me I'm going to. You can tell she's being hurt, she has bruises all over her arms and legs, and red marks on her face. I don't know why I never noticed. Uncle Thomas already has three kids, Grandma won't take her, she doesn't care about us, and Nana is way too old to care of her. I want custody of Piper, I'm not letting her go to a orphanage.

"Violet you okay?" Gerard asked breaking me out of mind.

"Yeah...can we talk in the other room for a second?" I questioned while tapping my index finger on the kitchen counter.

He nodded and walked into our bedroom.

"Hey Jacob watch Piper I need to speak with Gee for a second." I instructed and rushed into the bedroom, cracking the door behind me.

"So what did Piper say?" Gerard asked while sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Well from what she said both Maria and Sebastian hurt her...physically." I replied with a deep sigh.

"Poor baby." He breathed out and ran his fingers through his greasy red hair.

"Honestly...I want custody of Piper, I can't just let her be abused, no one else will take her in, and I'm not letting her go to an orphanage."

"Me too. I was waiting for you to bring it up, I know it's a big change but it'll be better for her."

"Once Maria picks her up in five hours I'll talk to her." I smiled sadly.

"Sounds good." Gerard replied and stood up.

"I love you." I said and hugged him.

"I love you too princess." He replied hugging back, and kissing my hair.

"Violet I made a happy plate!" Piper exclaimed.

I let out a chuckle and walked out into the kitchen to see Piper's plate was completely clean.

"Good job pumpkin!" I replied in a excited voice.

"Pumpkin!" She shouted all happy.

"Yep my lil pumpkin." I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Ew cooties!"

"You'll survive." I teased and picked her plate up, placing it into the sink.

Roughly five hours later Maria drove up into the driveway. Piper grabbed onto my hand anxiously, obviously not waiting to go. I heard the engine turn off and heavy knocks on the door. I hesitantly got up, walking to the door, and opening it.

"Where's that brat?" Maria asked with an harsh tone.

"First we need to talk." I replied in a mature voice.

"Wait about?" She questioned and put her hand on her hip.

"She told me about you and Sebastian hurting her."

"She's lying, she obviously is too young to know we're just disciplining her."

"That's why there's bruises on her arms and legs, even face?"

"Why are you so goddamn concerned!?" Maria asked starting to raise her voice.

"Because the well being of a sweet innocent girl is at stake."

"You know what I'm done! If you're so concerned take her! I don't want her!" Maria screamed and walked away, getting in her car, and left.

"Where's mommy?" Piper asked pulling on the hem of my shirt.

"She's gone." I replied simply.

"Are you taking care of me now?"

"Yep."

"Are you my new mommy?" She asked sweetly.

"Only if you want me to be."

"So is Gerard my dad?"

"If you want pumpkin." I smiled brightly.

"Dad!" She screamed and rushed into the kitchen where Gerard was.

"Congrats on your kid." Ray snickered.

"Shush Toro." I smiled.
